In an interview with LTA (Lawn Tennis Association), Emma disclosed some remarkable names she’d like to have dinner with. Raducanu defines herself as a constant snacker and eats all the time. To start with, she wants the F1 driver, Daniel Ricciardo up for a snack. She stated, “I’m quite into F1, so that’s also exciting. I’d just love to hear more about it.” Raducanu’s love for F1 is no surprise.
Furthermore, the 18-years-old also wishes to spend some quality time with the American legend, Michael Jordan, one of the greatest basketball player of all time. Emma considers Jordan as her inspiration and would love to hear inside stories about his game. Raducanu also watched the documentary ‘The Last Dance’, which is based on the story of the glorious Michael Jordan.
“The third would probably be Tom Keene from Bloomberg,” she added. “I think because I did my A-levels in Economics I was having to keep up to speed up with all the latest news. He made it in a way, using analogies that was relatable and actually quite funny and very understandable.” Thomas Keene is TV host, Radio personality and editor at Bloomberg.
